Cheap Flights to Tisbury from HK$696

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Tisbury vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tisbury in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
